FabFilter Pro-DS is an intelligent de-esser audio plugin that attenuates sibilance and harsh high-frequency content in vocals and other sources. It uses FabFilter's Single Vocal detection algorithm to transparently reduce sibilance in vocal recordings, and includes an Allround mode for high-frequency limiting on any material. The plugin is available in multiple formats including AAX for use in Avid Pro Tools. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionA native Apple Silicon build of Pro-DS already exists and has been confirmed running on Macs in our community. To upgrade from the Intel-only AAX build to the native version, visit fabfilter.com/downloads and download the current Pro-DS installer for macOS — on Apple Silicon Macs, the download page automatically serves the native Universal Binary. After installing, relaunch Pro Tools and rescan for plugins (Preferences → Plug-ins → Re-Scan) to ensure Pro Tools detects and loads the native version. Your existing Pro-DS presets and settings will carry over automatically. If you prefer to keep Pro Tools managing the update, some versions of Pro Tools have a built-in plugin manager that can check for updates, though the direct download from FabFilter's site is generally the most straightforward path.
